PH Towers Photo Review By Head58

Kiss And Condotelling at the P-Tow

Posted by Chuckmonster

The overall décor of the hotel is pop contemporary, with the dominant color scheme being reds, whites and blacks. Each suite has a picture of Marilyn Monroe, which could be swapped out for a Nagel print and it would fit right in. This isn't the modern style and elegance of City Center or Cosmopolitan but a kind of retro 80s/90s feel.

The porte cochere and bell station are in a sub-level beneath the main lobby. The wife and I arrived mid-morning on a Sunday and our room was not yet ready, but we were offered a high floor room that was ready for an additional $10 per night. Tempting for the view, but we declined and checked our bags until they were ready for us a few hours later.

After lunch and some play in the nearby PH casino, the room was ready. There was a resort fee listed on the check-in statement, but our desk agent crossed it out explaining that the system still puts it on but they don't charge it. Saint Loveman be praised! Off we went to the 24th floor!

The package deal we booked through Southwest included a free upgrade from a studio suite to a 1 bedroom suite "if available." The studio offers a respectable 500ish square feet (the 1br suite is about 900) but lacks a couple of the features I was looking forward to. I would have pretended to be okay if we hadn't gotten the upgrade but would have probably died a little inside. The deal paid off and we got the 1 br. For only about $100/night this was without question the biggest win we had in town.

W/r/t the washer dryer, we used it for bathing suits and a couple of shirts. It is small but plenty of room for that sort of thing. A box of detergent was provided (didn't check to see if it was replenished after we used it). No funky smell in it at all. It was hell of confusing to operate though and we ended up just mashing buttons to get it to open the door when it was done.

Westgate still owns the property, so it is not under the Caesars (Total Rewards) umbrella. I believe they have designated certain floors for use by the timeshares they sold. The walk to the casino is no more than 100yards through the mall. It has larger rooms and is an easier walk to the strip than Vdara or Signature. There is no restaurant and the lobby bar has very limited hours and selection. The 1 and 2 bdrm units are usually available at a decent price.

Great review, and generally agreed! My SO and I stayed here with another couple over Thanksgiving last year, and I was hesitant based on online reviews, but figured the bang for the buck made it at least worth a shot. Was pleasantly surprised - plenty of room for each couple to feel like we had our own space, but a good community area as well. (That window shade/screen for projector tv is FAB for football season). Split between the four of us, this was by FAR our best option for such a high-capacity holiday weekend. Next time I'm on a group trip to Vegas, this will be the first property I check for availability.

Thanks for the write-up. Haven't read too much about this place.
We've got a one bedroom reserved for four nights this January, to try this place out. Don't mind a little walking, and I do like a nice room - yes, I'm one of those that actually uses a room for more than SSS. Now, I'm really looking forward to this.
